Life From The Son

Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 17, 2025

Worship is the soul turning toward Christ’s light—adoration that becomes transformation, joy that becomes service, life aligned with divine love.

One of those questions has followed me for years: Why does God want our worship? If He is all-powerful, all-knowing, and all-sufficient, why would He want—much ...read more

Contributed by Patty Groot on Sep 16, 2025

Have you ever had to look at the very thing that hurt you in order to be healed? That sounds counterintuitive, doesn’t it? We tend to run from pain, not toward it. We avoid the memories that wounded us, the people who betrayed us, the experiences that left us scarred. But what if God invites us, ...read more
